Concessionary Fares on Trains in Cornwall
Extend the free "bus pass" in Cornwall to qualifying local residents who may also wish to use a train service within the county.
Why is this important?
Bus journeys,, are slower, less comfortable and more expensive than rail travel, in most cases between the major towns in Cornwall. Allowing use on the railway would save Cornwall Council money and provide the elderly and the disabled with a valuable alternative means of travel. To encourage the implementation of the extended scheme, it could be made subject to the purchase of an annual railcard e.g. the Devon & Cornwall Railcard which costs just £10 per annum and which also provides a discount for an accompanying passenger.
How it will be delivered
To the appropriate department of Cornwall Council and to the Cornish MPs.
